I'm running linux (FC10) and took the easy option and used yum to install crystalspace. Over the past couple of days i've read most of the documentation and compiled the examples and tutorials that i've found.

Tonight I decided to move on and do some research. When looking into 3rd person cameras and the such it became apparent that using CEL is the way to go. So i've read a fair bit of cel's doc's and dived into the tutorial.

After realising that I had to say yes to the last question on the 'createproject.sh' (too obvious!), I then got the following error whilst running './configure'.

Code:

...checking for cs-config-1.1... nochecking for cs-config-1.2... /usr/bin/cs-config-1.2checking if Crystal Space version >= 1.1... yes (version 1.2.1)checking if Crystal Space SDK is usable... yeschecking for cel-config-1.... nochecking for cel-config-1.2... /usr/bin/cel-config-1.2checking if CEL version >= 1.1... yes (version 1.2)checking if CEL SDK is usable... noconfigure: error:*** CEL could not be found or was unusable. The latest version is always*** available from http://cel.crystalspace3d.org/

Knowing i'd read something about environment variables somewhere I did a quick search here and tried the following two sets:

When CS is installed, there should be no need to set CRYSTAL environment variable.For CEL, I'm not sure, it's been quite a while since I tried.It would be interesting to check the config.log file, and see the exact reason why the usability check failed...
